McCormack Advanced Rectifer Circuitry


I'm on the list to have my DNA-125 Platinum upgraded with the new ARC (both 1 and 2.) :D

Has anyone here already had this done to their McCormack amp? If so, what's your impression?

The more I read and think about this upgrade, the less I think about spending money on other things. So thanks in advance for saving me money in a bizarre sort of way!

Howard,
It's hard for me to tell what impact the ARC2 mod had on the performance of my amp, since I had everything done at the same time. I had it scheduled for Gold originally, but while the amp was there I figured I'd do couple more things. I talked to Kris and Steve about getting a Plitron, but Steve suggested that I try the ARC2 instead, since the DNA-225 already has enough power to drive my(or pretty much any) set of speakers.
Although the amp is not fully broken in yet(less than 100 hours playing time), as Nyran94 noted above, it is sounding very good. Way better than stock. And it seems to get better as it plays more, so.....
I wish I could be more helpful with opinions just about the ARC upgrade, but, don't know.

You tell us when you get it back!!! :)
Nyran,

Kris anticipated mid to late September, although it could get pushed back depending on how long the current jobs take.

Kris did say the ARC-2 was a more significant upgrade than the ARC-1, but I figured I'd avoid future shipping and labor costs by having both done at the same time.
Where can I read about this upgrade, as you say you've done? Do you mean in the AG forums? Thanks
Zaikesman, the best way to find out is to ask Steve.
Call or e-mail him, so you get a written response. This way you can read it over and over again, until curiousity takes over and you send your amp in for this upgrade....lol
